MacFarland Middle School is looking for volunteers to join their Community Cabinet. The school, adjacent to Roosevelt Senior High School, is scheduled to open for the 2018-2019 school year.

The middle school will align with Roosevelt's global studies focus, and offer a dual language pathway for qualified students. The feeder elementary schools will be Powell, Bruce Monroe and Barnard, in addition to Truesdell and West Education Campuses.

The school is looking to put together a group of parents and community members to serve as an advisory committee, making recommendations to the Chancellor about things like school programming, extracurricular activities, and community partnerships. The Community Cabinet will meet once every three months beginning in September.

You can apply online, and if you have any questions, contact Julienne.Vinson@dc.gov or call (202) 507-0164.
